Bold Lettering Posts

Coquille — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 21:56:35 GMT

Why do people feel they have to yell their posts to get their point accross? We all have opinions and we should be accepting of everyone's ideas, thoughts, point of views, etc..

Why do people feel they have to be nasty to one another if one doesn't agree with them? People can always disagree and debate on any topic but try to be civil.

This post has been removed by QVC because it is argumentative and baiting.

Power, unfortunately it gives individuals a sense of having it. They are anonymous and without that fact they would not have/feel any power.

My oops.

I should have referenced my remark to the second part of the post, about being nasty.

I was in error of not making this clear.

Some need/prefer bold and larger print. I apologize to those that do because my comment was not in reference to you.

For one thing, many people who post here have trouble seeing "normal" fonts so bold is helpful.

And it's helpful for me to see it more clearly on my laptop as well.

I do hope that this bold response did not offend you

I think many have explained here that they use the bold print because of vision issues. I prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt before placing judgment.

As far as differing points of views and how responses are perceived......I think the anonymity of the internet is why civility isn't always present. However, often times perception is everything.

@Trinity11 I never looked at it from that perspective. If that is the case some of the time, I can easily understand that! Thanks.

Hi @Noel7. Some serious health issues I am dealing with and haven't been able to post as much. Yesterday was wonderful...lots of little ones at our door. My husband stayed home to give out the candy.

Hope you are recovering and feeling better.

@Trinity11

I'm so sorry to hear that. You are in my thoughts so often. I got out of the hospital yesterday after five days and I'm so glad to be home. I was just telling Daisy we are having a mini Halloween today.

I will hold you in my prayers

@CoquilleAll caps would indicate yelling. Bold highlights do not necessarily indicate yelling nor being nasty.

You have two different issues in your post.

We all know everyone can disagree and debate and try to be civil.

The key is how we perceive a response to our posts.

Name-calling, e.g., is being nasty.

Taking an opposing vp to our posts as "nasty" is in personal perception.

We don't have to respond to a post we consider nasty, uncivil, etc. We can also take a step back and reconsider our pov when an opposing vp is presented.

It all depends upon what we expect to receive and how we accept what is presented.

Individual responsibility is the key; nobody else is responsible for us.

Oh No!! I was wondering if you were OK because I hadn't seen you posting. 5 days...I can imagine how much you wanted to get home @Noel7. Thanks for the prayers. I truly appreciate them. It has been a rough three weeks.

I don't mind the blue font. It's fine for me.

What used to drive me crazy were the ellipses people. The ones......who posted.....every third.....word with dots.......dots.......everywhere.....

Thank goodness, that seems to be gone!
